Contests

They are one of those bands that you just have to see live. Altin Gün combine psych rock and contemporary synthpop with Anatolian and Turkish folk music, creating visionary reinterpretations of traditional songs, a fascinating trip between the past and future.

Their first two albums On (2018) and Gece (2019) were showered with praise from international critics.

Âlem and Yol (2021) were followed in 2023 by the live album Aşk, in which Altin Gün returned to her greatest strength: the urgency of her world-famous, driving, hypnotising live performances.

In fact, the five-piece band from Amsterdam, some of whom are of Turkish descent, have already thrilled half the world with their unmistakable sound, played sold-out headline tours in North America and Europe, and stopped off at the most significant festivals on the planet: Coachella, Lowlands, Primavera Sound, Fuji Rock.
